Telemental Health Competencies

CTiBS has identified and drafted a proposed set of core telemental health competencies that are intended to comply with legal and professional ethical mandates. Your feedback about the draft competencies is requested and needed to make them truly consensus-based.

A certificate for a 2-month free trial period for the PSYBooks EHR 4. 50GB of free, HIPPA compliant storage with your EHR with your new PSYBooks subscription

Telemental Health Competency Feedback Directions

As you review the Telemental Health Competencies document, please consider the following questions:

1. Have we adequately and appropriately differentiated the three proficiency levels for each competency? 2. Is there a topic area or competency not included and that you believe ought to be included? 3. Is the content too broad to be helpful or too narrow to be applicable to most practitioners of telemental health?

The comment period will close and prizes will be awarded on September 30, 2016. We thank you in advance for your participation. CTiBS would appreciate your sharing information about this review request with your colleagues. Please respond to the competencies statement here.
